Where are you located?
I have a mdl 81 in 35 Rem. that I might could be talked out of.
I don't care too much for shipping rifles but would welcome a FTF transaction in the Houston or DFW area.

Roger, I am going to take your advice & enjoy it as it is.
It functions perfectly & the barrel sights are dead on. It'll be the first rifle I take into the bush come deer season this fall.
Thanks.

Roger, this rifle is an 81 & it has what appears to be an aluminum butt plate painted black. The ser. # is inscribed underneath the plate. Were the butt plates typically painted black?
This is checkered with "Remington" across the back of it.
Thanks.
